Bone's mechanical competence and its fragility in particular depend to a certain extent on
the structure and microstructure of the cortical bone compartment. Beyond bone mineral …

As the older population increases, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures is expected to
dramatically rise during the next few decades. Older patients are much more susceptible to …

Although low bone mineral density is among the strongest risk factors for fracture, a number
of clinical studies have demonstrated the limitations of bone mineral density measurements …

Introduction Proximal femoral bone strength is not only a function of femoral bone mineral
density (BMD), but also a function of the spatial distribution of bone mass intrinsic in …

Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the
main determinant of the clinical evaluation of hip fracture risk. However, it has been shown …

Overweight postmenopausal women may be more susceptible to bone loss with weight
reduction than previously studied obese women. The influence of energy restriction and Ca …

Although gender differences in fall rates may partly explain the higher prevalence of
fractures in elderly women than men, male bones may also be intrinsically stronger or suffer …

Background: Although the orientation of the femoral component has been shown to
influence the outcome of total hip replacement, its effect on the clinical outcome of surface …

Osteoporotic hip fracture is associated with high mortality and morbidity and often results in
a loss of mobility and independence. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring Bone Mineral …

Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the current
imaging procedure of choice to assess fracture risk. However, BMD is only one of the factors …
